THE CLEANSING: Jail Or Rock 'N' Roll

June 26, 2008

THE CLEANSING, the new Danish band featuring former members of USIPIAN, has issued the following update:

"Recent events have lead us to release some insider information regarding the [debut THE CLEANSING] album.

"Toke [Eld, vocals] was taken in custody by the police during vocal recording sessions in March, only a few weeks before mixing was planned. In search of a fast and equal solution for everyone, all vocal was recorded by Martin Rosendahl [bass]. Toke had recorded three songs but wasn't all satisfied, so we chose to use Martin's vocal on those three tracks also.

"Less than two weeks ago, Toke was presented to a judge and was against our expectations released to serve his sentence later. Therefore Toke is now rehearsing to get back in shape to (if possible) re-record the vocal tracks.

"This will not delay the album! If Toke is called in to serve before recordings are finished, or if a deadline is closing in, the album will remain with Martin's vocal.

"In the matter of personal interest Toke has great regrets about him not singing on the album and being taken in custody at such a critical time, he'll do his best to get his vocal on the album!"

The projected track listing for the album is as follows:

01. Architechtural Infinity
02. Flesh Recycled
03. Ghost Lights
04. Insects in the Void
05. Harnessed by the Shadows
06. The Prodigal Son
07. Deliverance
08. The Domino of Phantom Effects
09. Derelict
10. Awoken at Gunpoint

Check out the songs "Architectural Infinity" and "Insects in the Void" on the band's MYSpace page.

THE CLEANSING is:

Toke Eld: Vocals
Jeppe Hasseriis: Guitar
Andreas Lynge: Guitar
